PlaceChangers

PlaceChangers offers a comprehensive and adaptable platform that transforms public consultation processes for planning and development projects. At its heart, PlaceChangers combines digital interactivity with user-friendly tools to make engagement accessible to a wide range of community members. By incorporating interactive maps, 3D visualisations, and streamlined reporting, the platform enables clients to gather detailed, location-specific insights that traditional methods often overlook.

Uniquely, PlaceChangers features a cutting-edge Health Impact Assessment (HIA) tool, integrated with its powerful place data capabilities. This tool allows planners and developers to assess the health implications of proposed projects, ensuring alignment with public health objectives. By leveraging demographic and environmental datasets, the HIA tool provides actionable insights into how developments affect community well-being, enhancing decision-making processes.

The platform supports diverse input methods, including geotagged surveys, annotations, and real-time peer feedback, fostering dynamic engagement. Clients consistently commend its ability to scale seamlessly across projects of varying sizes and types—whether for urban transport plans, housing developments, or rural schemes. By automating complex tasks such as data analysis and reporting, PlaceChangers not only reduces administrative burdens but also accelerates project delivery.

Beyond efficiency, the platform promotes inclusivity and community ownership, presenting feedback visually and interactively to combat “survey fatigue.” From demographic outreach to high-response volumes, PlaceChangers delivers reliable, actionable data that supports informed, health-conscious development decisions. Versatile and future-ready, it is the go-to solution for organisations prioritising meaningful public engagement and sustainable, community-centred outcomes.
